+1 on the lowballs. Carmax offered us 16K for a CPO 2004 S4 with 45k miles and had one on the lot w/ more miles for $28K. holy markup.

They offered him $8500 for his car. After pointing out that they had an identical car on their lot for about twice that, the carmax guy said "we're a dealer, that's how it works".
